Extended Data Table 1. 230 ancient individuals analyzed in this study.

Population: samples grouped by a combination of date, source, archaeology and genetics. Date range: approximate date range of samples in this group. N: Number of individuals sampled. Out: Number of PCA outliers (marked with an asterisk if used in selection analysis). Rel: Number of related individuals removed. Eff N Chr: Average over sites of the effective number of chromosomes when we use genotype likelihoods. Computed as 2 per called site for samples with genotype calls, or 2 – 0.5(c−1) for samples with read depth c. Selection population 1: Coarse population labels (marked with a caret if not used in genome-wide scan) Selection population 2: Fine population labels. Abbreviations: [E/M/L]N Early/Middle/Late Neolithic, LBK Linearbandkeramik, [E/S/W]HG Eastern/Scandinavian/Western hunter-gatherer, [E]BA [Early] Bronze Age, IA Iron Age.
